Primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall Visiting Winnipeg in September

The animal expert will share her experience researching the chimpanzees of Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania with a local audience at the Burton Cummings Theatre on Friday, September 29.

Audiences will learn about man’s closest cousins in the animal kingdom — the genetic difference between humans and chimps is less than 2% — the escalating threats to their habitat and beyond, and why Dr. Goodall still has hope that we can make things better.

The public lecture begins at 7 p.m. Tickets range in price from $40 to $125, with all proceeds supporting JGI Canada’s conservation, humanitarian and youth engagement programs.
